Saw this yesterday and enjoyed it. I don't know what to compare it to exactly, I just want to describe it as "Quirky independent movie" even though that's probably not accurate, its just where my brain keeps going.

I fucking hate comedies as a whole but this looks interesting. This and that Bill Murray zombie movie may be my comedic intake for 2019.

The dead dont die was pretty solid. This also looks pretty interesting.

I think this role was literally made for him. Otherwise I hate his face.

And what is wrong with not liking comedies? I did earlier in my life but I can't stomach them anymore. I prefer my entertainment impactful, and if not at the very least scary/gory/exciting. I find most comedies more awkward and uncomfortable than funny. Perhaps I am fucked, but there you have it. Grumpy old man confirmed. Get off my fucking lawn.
